Finally finished my dress and got the basic underpinnings all gathered and it rained. Here are pictures minus the feathers for the hat and the sleeves due to the rain. Have the basics figured out and now for the real dress. Need to pull out stash and see what I have to do the next one. 🙂

Plans for next few months: continue working on the embroidery for the new smock, cut and start shell for a doublet, learn about pad stitching and practice, finish patterning and cutting a farthingale and finally do a second body using silk as cover. 🙂
